Exciting & New!
Can you imagine a running shoe with 360° of GEL cushioning? That fantasy is now a running reality!
In addition to all that protective GEL, this neutral cushioning shoe offers, "an asymmetrical FluidFit upper that provides a breathable, glove-like fit and a distinctive, aggressive personality all its own. A full-length Trusstic System spring loads every step with energy for explosive momentum, and the sleek, Seamless Construction keeps the aesthetic clean while helping prevent potential friction - the ultimate symbiotic relationship between form and function."
Sounds great to us! Drop by any BPRC and take a pair for a spin. |

Anything Is Possible 5K
November 1, 1:50am
This party, disguised as a 5K race, starts at 1:50AM (yup, you read that right...AM) on the Sunday morning we turn the clocks back for Daylight Savings Time. In a way, you’ll finish before you start! The fast and flat race route is closed to car traffic so your nighttime run is safe, and the special effects makes it super fun. Everyone participating will receive pajama pants (instead of a T) and glow items. After the race there will be tons of food and great music as you dance the night away at the biggest post-race party around. This year's race theme is "masquerade", so you know it's gonna be great! Proceeds benefit Team Red, White, and Blue.
Save the online fee, and register at any BPRC.
